PAPER. "Box.

' To all whom itmai wmerm- Be it known that 1, PETER R.,WARREN, a citizen of the United States, residing at Boston, county of Sufiolk, State of Massachu- 5 setts, have inventeda certain new and useful Improvement in Paper Boxes, of which the following is a specification, reference being had therein to the accompanying drawings. 7

This invention relates to a new and useful improvement in paper boxes and has special reference to that class of paper boxes which are employed as a display container for smaller boxes.

One object of the invention is to provide a box formed from a single blank of card- -port1on's so that'the end flap portions can board and capable of being printed on one side only, which shall have a partition formed integral with the box so that two or more tiers or stacks of boxes may be separatedfrom each other and be supported at the back as well as front, thereby preventing displacement as part of the boxes are sold or removed.

the box of a single sheet of paper died out and in such form that it may be folded up iinto the box with its flaps securely locked without the use of paste or adhesive of any kind so that the blanks may be shipped or stacked away in flat unfolded sheet form and each blank as it is desired may be i quickly folded and set up ready for use.

The invention will be fully understood from the following description taken in connection with the accompanying drawings and the novel features thereof will be po1nted out and clearly defined in the claims at the ends of the said body or panel portions the close of the specification.

In the draw1ngs,-Figure 1 is a plan of a blank formed of a single sheet of paper ready to be folded into a box embodyingthe invention. Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the box shown in Fig. 1" folded and set up. Fig. 3 is a transverse section of the folded box shown in Fig. 2. Fig. a is a plan of a portion of thebox shown in Fig. 2, the lefti hand end portion thereof being broken away as the construction is fullyillustrated by w i and the panelportion 9 is folded along the line 26 at right angles as to form 7, 8, '9, said the'parts shown.

Referring now to the draw1ngs,the blank is cut out and creased so Another object of the invention is to make Specification of Letters Patent. Patented Jan, 18 1916, Application filed April 13, 1915. Seria1No.21,14=7. I

tween said body portions to facilitate the I folding. Said body portions 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 form the sides and bottom of the folded box. The body or panel portion 5 has at each end thereof an extension flap divided into two parts 1O, 11 by a crease or score line 12 for the purpose to be hereinafter described. The body or panel portion 6 has at each end an extension forming a flap 13 which is separated from the combination flap 10, 11 by a slit 14. The body or panel portion 8 has at each end an extension which is divided by a crease or score line 15 to form two portions 16, 17. The blank is creased along the dividin lines between said body or panel portions and the end flap be folded at right angles to the ends of said body portions. The panel portion 9 is formed with a slit 18 along the folding line between said portion 9 and portion 8 and extending for a considerable portion of the length of said'portion 9 but not for the entire length and is also formed with the two slits 19, 20 extending at right angles to said slit 18 at the endsthereof in a transverse direction of the portion 9 and for a portion only of its width, preferablv for about half its width.

When the blank is folded into the box form the panel 5 forms one vertical side of the box panel 6 forms the real bottom of the box, the panels 7 and 8 form a double wall for the other vertical side of the box and the panel 9 forms a false bottom for [is folded along the line 25 turning it down against the inner face of the panel portion 7 to the vertical wall 8 so as to lie flat upon the inner faee of the bottom 6', thus formin'g an interior false 'bottom' and the tongue portion 21' formed the slits '18, 19', 20 is turned up alon'gthe crease line 22 into vertical position, as shown in Fig. 3, forming a longitudinal vertical partition along the middle of the bottom of the box for a considerable portion The flap portion 16 is then bent along its crease line 27 to of the length of the box.

form. one end of the box and the portion 17 of the flap is then bent along the crease line 15 to lie against the inner face of the side wall 5. Then the flap portion 13 is turned up along'the crease line 28 into vertical position outside of the flap portion 16, Then the flap portion 10 is bent along its crease line 29 against the outer face of the flap portion 13 and the portion 11 is bent along the crease line 12 and tucked in between the ends of the double wall formed by the panels 7,8, thus forming a locking tongue. The flaps at each end are folded and tucket in in this manner and thus form a corn-' pletely folded and set up box, as shown 1n Fig; 2.

It is obvious that the end flap portions 10 and 16 may be folded in reverse order to each other, if desired, so that instead of the flap portion 16 forming the inner thickness of the end wall the flap 10 may form the inner thickness of the end wall while the flap 16 forms the outer thickness and the flap portion 17 would be used as the tuck flap. When the box or container is thus set up as shown in FigsIQ and 3 the partition 21 divides the container into two compartments lengthwise of the container and arow of smaller boxes may be placed in each compartment, the proportions and size of the container being planned with'relationto the size ofthe boxes which it is tohold so that the width of each compartment will be equal to the width or length'of each one of the smaller boxes which the", container is 'to hold. Thus the partition 21 forms a support or back stop for the tier of each compartment.

It is to be noted that all of thee exposed portions of the container when set up are on the same side of the unfolded blank so that it is necessary to use a stock coated on only 7 one side of the paper, and that the printing or ornamentation is all placed on the same side. Allportions of the other facefof the blank will be concealed when the box is set up. i

What I claim is: v

1. A paper box or container having two side walls, two end walls and a bottom made of a single'sheet of material, one of said side walls; being formed of two panel portions folded on the line between them with the fold on the upper edge and forming a pocket between them open at each end,the-

other side wall having flap extensions at both ends which are bent to form the outer V faces of the ends of the box and terminate in tuck flaps which are inserted in the ends boxes in of the pocket between the two panels of the double side wall thereby locking the container in set up form.

2. A'blank for a folding paper box container consisting of a single sheet of paper died out and creased to form five body panel portions in such manner that oneof the intermediate panel portions forms'the real bottomof the box, one of the portions adj acent to one edge of said bottom forming panel forms oneside of the box, another panel portion immediately adjacent to said bottom portion formsan outer wall-{of the .other side of the box, another panel portion adjacent to said outer-side wall portion forms an inside facing for-said outer wall,
